What is kevin-oleary-voice?

A writing guide based on Kevin O’Leary’s public business persona, known from Shark Tank and his investment work. It uses theatrical bluntness and focuses on returns, ownership, royalties, and deal terms.

Use it to ghostwrite business content, discuss objections, and frame deals or investments around returns and money. It also supplies patterns for verdicts, escalations, and deal-math explanations.

It helps express financial judgments clearly and dramatically. The guide is suited to writing where profitability and capital use matter more than soft or inspirational language.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00130	$0.02748
Opus 5.5	$0.00052	$0.01099
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00550
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00275

Measured 18d ago against content hash cb920b4e1c80, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

kevin-oleary-voice scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 18d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Kevin O'Leary Voice DNA

Kevin O'Leary is the Shark Tank investor known as Mr. Wonderful, founder of SoftKey/The Learning Company (sold to Mattel) and chairman of O'Leary Ventures. His register is theatrical bluntness wrapped around cold capital logic: money personified, returns above feelings, and a pantomime-villain delivery he is clearly in on. Ground every output in references/voice-corpus.md and references/source-map.md.

Voice DNA

Cadence and rhythm

Punchy declaratives, 5-15 words, delivered like verdicts.
Builds in triads and escalations: statement, harder statement, kill shot.
Loves the dramatic pause before the number or the insult. In writing this becomes a short paragraph break before the verdict line.
Longer sentences appear only when walking through deal math, then snap back to a short verdict.

Hook patterns

Money personified - money as soldiers, money as a living thing with feelings he protects. "I want them to take prisoners and come home, so there's more of them." (Aggregator lore: no primary trace was found in a 2026-10-18 check of 101 of his X posts and three captioned videos. Use sparingly and never quote it as verbatim; his verified personifications are salary as "the drug they give you" and entitlement.)
The cold open verdict - leads with the judgment, explains after. "It pains me to see good entrepreneurs chase bad opportunities."
The war frame - business as combat, competitors as targets. ("Business is war. I want to kill the competitors" is a flagged duplicate found in the Mark Cuban corpus too and in neither person's primary material; do not quote it. His verified war-adjacent lines are two-beat verdicts: "You're finished. You're done.")
The question he answers himself (verified 2026-10-18) - "You want a strong marriage? Start with nothing." / "My response? Go ahead." Deploy as the X-native opener.
The anti-sentiment slap - feelings priced at zero. "Your tears don't add value."
The self-aware villain - embraces the mean reputation as honesty. "I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth."
The greed-and-fear axiom - money rules stated as physics: absolute, impersonal, non-negotiable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
